Excuse Me

After writing yesterday's post I began thinking of excuses I make for my diabetes:

Excuses made to others:
  • Why I eat healthily
  • Why I don't eat sugar
  • Why I drink light beer
  • Why I am so thin
  • Why I go to the bathroom before each meal
Excuses made to myself:
  • Why I am eating sugar (or carbs)
  • Why my vision is blurry
  • Why my blood glucose is high/low
  • Why my stomach (injection sites) hurt
I'm sure the list could go on forever. And I'm not sure which is worse: telling this to others or to myself. I'm sure they are both pretty bad, and this is a habit I hope to stop. Awareness cannot improve if we don't start talking.
